Very strange. I just looked at the online manual for those units and it still has the procedure for enable/disable load sensing right on page 10! I have 6-8 older Lamplinc dimmer units that I am no longer using if your interested in some lightly (no pun intended) used units. -Xathros

LeeG- If I read this thread correctly, this has nothing to do with the ISY yet. It sounds to me like these modules just are not load sensing. Blueman2- Does the lamplinc respond as described during the Enable sensing procedure? Specifically the response to step #2 ? Enable Load Sensing 1) Press & hold the Set button on LampLinc until it beeps (3 seconds) The LampLinc Status LED will begin blinking green 2) Triple-tap the Set button on LampLinc LampLinc will beep and its Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid green if the load is on or solid red if it is off 3) Test that Load Sensing has been enabled by turning the load on and off from its built-in switch The load will turn on and off -Xathros

Haha! Knew it! See the edit in my previous post. Thanks. -X

I think I may have found a small issue in 3.3.1. I have 4 2842-222 motion sensors (actually whatever the old number was but the console reports them as the new #) in my setup and since the upgrade, any program that responds to motion is responding twice within one second. Here is an event viewer trace from one such event: Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:15 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] DON 1 Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:15 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] ST 255 Fri 09/14/2012 03:27:16 PM : [ 11 A7 89 1] DON 0 Here is the program that responded: If Control 'Basement / Utility Room / Basement Motion-Sensor' is switched On Then $i.cnt.BasementMotion += 1 Resource 'Syslog-MOTION - Basement' Run Program 'Occupancy' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Here is the result from my Syslog Network resource: Sep 14 15:27:09 192.168.2.20 ISY994i - MOTION - Basement. Sep 14 15:27:09 192.168.2.20 ISY994i - MOTION - Basement. I have a Triggerlinc that only reports once so it doesn't seem to be battery device specific. Only the motion sensors and only since 3.3.1 upgrade. If I run the Then path of this program (or any of the other motion activated programs) manually, I only get one log entry. For the moment, I have solved the doubling by adding a 1 second wait at the front of the then path on my log and count programs. For programs that activate lights based on motion I don't want to introduce any additional response delays so I am just living with the extra traffic from the double responses. -Xathros EDIT: Because LeeG will most likely ask for it, here is a level 3 trace of another such event: Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 11.A7.ED 00.00.01 C7 11 01 LTONRR (01) Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [standard-Group][11.A7.ED-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [ 11 A7 ED 1] DON 1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [ 11 A7 ED 1] ST 255 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 11.A7.ED 00.00.01 C7 11 01 LTONRR (01) Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [standard-Group][11.A7.ED-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Fri 09/14/2012 04:01:06 PM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

Funny! This JUST happened to me about 5 minutes ago. In my case there is no Elk involved. I have added my ISY to this workstation both by private IP and by https//dyndns_name. I suspect that when my VPN drops the console falls back to the dyndns name rather than the IP. I do need to re-authenticate to the ISY when this happens and that is usually my indicator that the VPN dropped when the ISY USER/PASS dialog pop up. -Xathros

Hi Steve- As long as the data is Integer, you can /REST it to a var then use that var in a custom notification. No String type vars yet. If there are a limited number of possible string values, you could create separate customized notifications for each then pass an integer index to select a notification. -Xathros

FWIW: The Remotelinc 2 has an internal LiOn battery that charges via a micro USB connection on the bottom. A single charge should last nearly a year. Batteries are really not an issue with these. -Xathros

I would like to say Thank You! for the HTML support in notifications. My daily reports look much nicer and are far easier to read now! -Xathros

I haven't laid it all out yet but I don't think a var would be required. Your using button status for 1 & 2 for that purpose. Actually thinking about it more, you don't even need an 8 button KPL. A 6 would do. Button 1 off - Ezflora1, Button 1 On - EzFora2. 2 folders- one for EZF #1 Progs, One for EZF #2 Progs. Folder conditions that monitor the KPL/RL Button A If Status KPL/RL Button A is On (For EZF Folder #1) and If Ststus KPL/RL Button A is Off (For EZF Folder #2) Make KPL/RL button B shut off all EZF zones across both EZF devices. Within each folder, create a program for each zone. If Status KPL/RL Button3 is On then Set EzFlora1 Zone 1 On else set EzFlora1 Zone 1 off Repeat that editing for each button/zone combo for EZF1 Copy them to the EZF2 folder and edit to make them talk to EZF2 -Xathros

Nope. One 8 button remote or KPL should do. Buttons 1 and 2 to select which EZ-Flora to operate then 3-8 are available for zone on/off. Requires programming but hey, thats the fun part right ? -Xathros

Well then with any luck this is a bug and it will work somewhere down the road. Thanks. -Xathros

I was unsure when I coded my beeps so I addressed the primary node as it made no difference to me for a beep. I had hoped the scene beep would not care but it seems it does. Are you saying it doesn't work even when addressing the primary node ? I didn't test that. -Xathros

Thanks Lee. I'll have to continue to beep via direct command rather than scene for those I guess. WhiteSax: My beepers are enabled and working via button press or direct program command. I was just trying to simplify and reduce traffic but in this case I can't since my scenes don't include the primary buttons. -Xathros

Or when running FW 3.3.1, accessing via HTTPS and your Java version is less than 1.7 -Xathros

Tanks Lee and Michel. Good to know. I don't think my assumption has had any effect on my configuration but I like to know exactly what to expect. -Xathros

When using the scene beep with a scene containing only KPL8 secondary buttons, the feature does not seem to work. Is it necessary to address the primary button of a KPL for scene beep to work ? -Xathros

Screenshot sent. I'm using a MAC so am limited to the latest available JVM (1.6.0_33-bo3-424 both 32 and 64 bit. I am configured for SSL 3.0 both client and server. Thanks. -Xathros

I always assumed that RunAtSartup meant RunIf-at-Startup. Will it actually run the then clause if there is no If evaluating to true ? -Xathros

I have duplicated these results on 3 machines now. I can still connect with Mobilinc remotly via https so I'm puzzled as to why I can't get the admin console (or the Dashboard) working. -Xathros

Downloaded and installed. I can no longer access via HTTPS tho HTTP is just fine. Any attempt to access remotely via HTTPS results in: XML Parse error: https://my-url.org:443/desc Followed by: Socket Open Failed Java.lang.NullPointerException I have cleared all the browser and Java caches, deleted all of the old certificates and accepted/trusted all new certificates. -Xathros

Generally, if the modem does NAT, then they allow you to log into it to manage port forwards/DMZ etc. -Xathros

Your DSL modem is doing NAT translation as well as your router. Log into the Modem and place your routers WAN address in the DMZ of the modem. Make sure you have forwarded port 443 in the router to the ISY. -Xathros

jmed999- I'm not sure anyone other than you can answer that question as that will depend on your installation. Wireless range is affected by the placement of the antennas in the router and receiving devices, the construction of the building its installed in and interference from other wireless devices making it very difficult to predict how will a specific device will work in your situation. Generally speaking, N class routers should work better than older G class routers. I did find the following with a quick Google search: http://www.bestcovery.com/best-wireless-router-for-range That may be of some assistance. -Xathros

I like those Zyxel boxes with the IPSEC. I deployed a few of those for a remote IP Phone system. Just set up a WNDR3400 for a customer last night. Netgear has come a long way in the last few years. -Xathros

Dual Band means different things to different manufacturers marketing departments it seems. I have seen it mean: Supports 2.4 Ghz (g) and 5Ghz (n) and Supports Separate Upstream and Downstream N channels, 600Mbps vs 300Mbps for a "Singleband" N class router and A private and a guest network both using different security settings. One thing to keep in mind, unless you have something faster than 100Mbit internet coming to your home, the link speed on almost all of these routers will be faster than your internet speed meaning the only real benefit to a faster wireless link would be when transferring data between systems on your local network. Anything that is just accessing the internet will be limited by your cable/dsl modem regardless of how fast your are linked to the router from your PC/Device. If you are streaming HD video content from a home media server to a wireless client then a high speed link is a good idea. Longer range is always good and 802.11n does seem to do a bit better than 802.11g in that arena. As for speed boot, it may or may not offer any benefit. Features like that usually depend on both ends of the link supporting the same feature set (ie. Linksys router and a Linksys wireless card in the PC) but as I said above, the basic link likely is faster than your uplink anyway. Hope this helps. -Xathros
